just for testinggg

You could use CSS to make the width of articles 100%

.article {width: 100%;}

You can use google Chrome to test/alter CSS to see what you need to do to fix things.
Use right mouse button on an element on the screen and press “inspect”, then a window opens where you can play with CSS.

You do have a child-theme I hope?

Same ongoing issue after testing Robin’s suggestions.

1. Email matches domain
2. Check email plugin proved successfully; email sent and received
3. Asynchronous plugin did not resolve

The specific issue on greenpartytaos.org install is for replies to subscribed forums or topics. No email is being sent to any user, except when replying with site admin login. Even more odd, would not send mail to additional user even after setting their roles to keymaster and administrator.

Any ideas?

Sure would like the reply notification to work as it’s the main reason to install bbpress.

Appreciate any help!

Hello !

I have a problem with responsive theme in mobile..

I want the author zone with profil image in the top of reply content.. the forum is not very beautiful and reading is difficult

I have test more css fix but not working ..

I use bpp style pack

[Robin W]

I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

sorry lazy writing – just means a wordpress default theme with no changes – eg twentyseventeen. The ones released by wordpress are tested against bbpress.

I’ll contact you again via email.

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve got the login information and looked at the issue.

On my test site, I can replicate a page with

[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-form]

and have no problem in pagination. page 2 comes up as

http://mysite.com/forums/page/2/

This is with a twentyseventen clean theme.

Mother of god the first time a habe extract in bad folder my plugin bbpress (in folder plugin) i have delete teste in the file in the root folder of plugins and it’s ok lol !

[xfallseane]

I have download the theme in my pc and nothing word “teste” in the file of template..

[Robin W]

something is adding ‘teste’ I suggest you look for it.

Copy the theme to your pc, and use the PC to look for the word

[xfallseane]

Hello i’m french and sorry for my english.

I have modify the css and template of bbpress and i have copy the files in my host.
But when i create a topic i have “teste Name of Topic“.

In local i have check “Topics Loop – Single” and i have find “teste” i have delete this and prefix is deleted but in my host “teste” is not in Topics Loop – Single.
I do not know what can create the prefix.

I use bbp pack style and more plugins as bbpress2 bbcode, bp tools bp attachments.

thank you in advance

[Robin W]

tested !

Update… if I go to Settings > Reading and change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 2, I can access the 2nd page link (…page/2), but not the 3rd page. If I change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 1, I can access all 3 pages. I only have 3 pages of topics, so I am not able to test higher page number navigation links.

It’s worth noting that regardless of the setting, I can always access the URL that ends in page2 and page3 (without the inbetween slash “/”). And, it appears that WordPress itself displays the page navigation links just fine. This pagination problem seems to be isolated to the bbpress plugin.

[Roed]

Latest discovery is that if I edit a topic or reply in the admin and save this without editing anything, only go in and press save, then all is good at the front end.
But with over 40.000 replies this is going to take pretty long time 😀

[Robin W]

most likely your theme or another plugin is expecting bbpress to be there.

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Hi Robin,

Thank you thank you thank you! I’m so grateful – that was one thing in all the testing I did that I didn’t notice happening…

I think I got a bit panicked as there have been a lot of users subscribing (I suspect spam ones though, as the email addresses & usernames all have almost identical formats) and none were participants…

You time & help is really appreciated!
thanks
Tracey

I have a new website/forum set up at https://freremanu.com/forum/ which has been working fine until the last few days. When I set up test users using the registration form on the side of the forum page, it would correctly set the user roles as “Subscriber/Participant” – but since about a week ago, it is only setting them as “Subscriber”.

Even if then go and manually change the forum role to “participant”, when I sign in with the test user it says the forum page is “Not Found”.

I have tried disabling all plugins & checking, but this makes no difference.

Whether I register through the Forum widget (sidebar) or through the WP Login page, the result is the same – the role is just set to Subscriber.

Does anyone have any idea what has gone wrong, and more importantly, how I can fix this?

thanks in desperation!
Tracey

bbpress version 2.5.13
wordpress version 4.8
theme Avada

Hi

I’ve looked around support forum here and also carefully through my localhost installation (where my bbpress forum is currently installed for test purposes) and I’m dashed if I can work out how to use .htaccess to password protect the entire forum.

I’m aware that there are other ways to authenticate users but some of my clients website visitors are young people and we are keen to ensure that access to the website forum is restricted most severely. By this I mean we wanted to place the forum in its own directory and then place .htaccess and .htpasswd in that directory to limit access to individuals who had personally been handed a note of what the username and password were.

Might I ask if I’ve missed something simple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day
Gav

not tested but try adding this to your functions file

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name', 'rew_display_first_name' 10, 2);

function rew_display_first_name ($author_name, $reply_id ) {
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

		// User is not a guest
		if ( !bbp_is_reply_anonymous( $reply_id ) ) {

			// Get the author ID
			$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );

			// Try to get a display name
			$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'first_name', $author_id );

			// Fall back to user login
			if ( empty( $author_name ) ) {
				$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'user_login', $author_id );
			}

		// User does not have an account
		} else {
			$author_name = get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_name', true );
		}

		// If nothing could be found anywhere, use Anonymous
		if ( empty( $author_name ) )
			$author_name = __( 'Anonymous', 'bbpress' );

		// Encode possible UTF8 display names
		if ( seems_utf8( $author_name ) === false )
			$author_name = utf8_encode( $author_name );

return apply_filters( 'rew_display_first_name', $author_name, $reply_id );
}

Hi,

Our site tyndale.edu is having an issue since one of the latest updates. Our pages that require a login widget no longer work correctly and simply display shortcode to the users on the screen. We use DreamPress through Dreamhost and they have not found a solution. We’re running WP 4.8.3 and BBPress Version 2.5.14. DreamHost support made this comment,”The page is using shortcode but functions.php should be picking it up but is not”. If you use the wayback machine and choose Feb. of this year everything works perfectly! unfortunately I don’t have any backups that go that far.
You can see examples of the problem on these pages: https://www.tyndale.edu/students/open/
and https://www.tyndale.edu/students/library/galaxie-journal/

Any ideas?

I’ve been fighting with how to enable the Topics CPT for all users in the dashboard and not having a great time. I thought I could, perhaps, filter the CPT registration to change the CPT caps and show_ui settings, but no luck.

Even when I am able to get the Topics CPT to display for all users by commenting out the lines noted below as a test:

// Register Topic content type
register_post_type(
	bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
	apply_filters( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', array(
		'labels'              => bbp_get_topic_post_type_labels(),
		'rewrite'             => bbp_get_topic_post_type_rewrite(),
		'supports'            => bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports(),
		'description'         => __( 'bbPress Topics', 'bbpress' ),
		// 'capabilities'        => bbp_get_topic_caps(),
		// 'capability_type'     => array( 'topic', 'topics' ),
		'menu_position'       => 999999999999,
		'has_archive'         => ( 'forums' === bbp_show_on_root() ) ? bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() : false,
		'exclude_from_search' => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => false,
		'public'              => true,
		// 'show_ui'             => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),
		'can_export'          => true,
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'query_var'           => true,
		'menu_icon'           => ''
	)
) );

Things still don’t completely work. Users can technically create a post, but can’t save the Forum in which the post is created.

The short of it is: I want users with the Participant Forum Role to be able to see the Topics CPT in the dashboard so they can create their posts here, mainly because it would be helpful for them to be able to Preview a topic before posting it. Out of the box, the front-end bbPress form does not allow for post previews.

Has anyone achieved this?

Using:
WP 4.8.3
bbPress 2.5.14

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Otherwise/additionally talk to your hosting provider

Hello all, I have been searching for a solution and it appears that the bbpress install does not automatically add topic structure like this example:

import old Buddypress forum : users = ANONYMOUS

NOTE: “/forums/topic/import-old-buddypress-forum-users-anonymous/”

On my bbpress install topics structure looks like this:

“/topic/test/” – where “test” is the topic title

I wish to include the forums structure like the bbpress.org forums does.

I have searched and searched and let me to result in making a post. Does bbpress not include this automatically like they have on their forums?

Thank you kindly,
J.
